RCDN ABOUT
Brief Overview
RCDN refers to Regional CDN, a solution that aims to minimize the distance between users or content visitors in a specific country and the content owner’s server. This solution also enables cost efficiency for users as regional CDN focus in a particular country only unlike CDN that distributes the servers in many regions.
CDN refers to a Content Delivery Network, a distributed set of servers that work to enable fast delivery of various internet contents to users. CDN allows the transfer of assets to load internet content such as but not limited to web pages, images, and videos.
CDN does not provide content hosting service but it helps to perform cache to the content which significantly improves performance in loading the content.
On the implementation, CDN will store cached versions of the contents in multiple regional locations. A proper CDN configuration can also provide protection support against malicious attacks.
High-speed content delivery that enables faster access by every user
Increase performance as all the workload will be absorbed and handled by rCDN reduces server utilization.
Adding more layer on security protection. HeyHo! rCDN acts as a single endpoint that is accessed by the public hence your infrastructure will remain private.
For regional-based users that originally come from various locations within the same country (in this case Indonesia), the rCDN implementation will significantly reduce both the operational and technology expenses as there will be no charges being spent for international internet connection.
For international users across countries but with the majority of users being based in a specific country, rCDN supports traffic separation based on the origin country.
On the implementation, traffic from Indonesia, in this case, acts as the origin country, will be served from rCDN while traffic from other countries as sources will be handled by separate solutions.
S3, one of the popular solutions in S3 allows developers to store static files in high-reliability object storage at a relatively low cost. But the benefit comes with challenges when there is a need to serve the files in public as out-of-the-box S3 does not provide a secure connection with HTTPS support.
Another alternative solution for the secured connection exists which is CloudFront (a CDN service from AWS), but with a significantly higher cost than normal bandwidth.
Features
Automatic cache implementation of all static contents that will reduce the load of the origin server at the same time. In the long run, the cache implementation will produce a higher speed in loading any content from the users’ point of view.
More efficiency in bandwidth usage as the file size can be reduced by activating the compression feature.
Customers will be able to resize any image content without having to perform the deployment of a separate service for the execution. rCDN by default already supports image resizers.
